Technical FAQs 4

Why do inverter capacitors fail?

Capacitors fail due to heat mostly, and inverters are heat producers. In addition, they are among the inverter components with the shortest lifespan, given their construction and location inside the inverter. Inverter capacitor failure can make you solar system to suddenly stop working or start exhibiting other unusual behavior.

What causes a solar inverter to fail?

A solar inverter isolation fault is another common failure that moisture can cause. An isolation fault simply means a problem that’s caused by short-circuiting, often because moisture found its way into the inverter. Other causes include damaged or loose wiring.

What are the most common solar inverter failures?

Humidity is one of the most common solar inverter failure causes. However, it’s also one of the easiest to avoid. Humidity causes a variety of problems with your solar inverter electronic components, leading to reduced lifespan. A solar inverter isolation fault is another common failure that moisture can cause.

What happens if a solar inverter overloads?

An overload in a solar inverter occurs when the power input from the solar panels exceeds the inverter’s capacity to handle or convert it safely into output power. This condition can stress the inverter's components, such as capacitors and cooling systems, beyond their operational limits.
